EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a wine-seller's sarcophagus with an intricate relief depicting a vibrant scene of wine trading. Dating back to the Roman civilization, specifically the 2nd-4th century A. D. , this remarkable piece hails from Ancona. Against a striking black background, the full-length sculpture stands tall and commands attention. The detailed craftsmanship comes to life as we observe various elements within the relief. A column and arch frame the composition, adding architectural grandeur to the scene. Prominently featured are barrels symbolizing trade and commerce, reminding us of the significance of wine in ancient societies. In this studio shot, we witness an anonymous figure holding onto one such barrel, emphasizing their role as a seller or trader in this bustling marketplace. The sculpture masterfully captures human representation through its artistry without featuring any actual people. Dating back centuries ago, this artifact offers us insight into winemaking practices during that era. It serves as a testament to how deeply ingrained alcohol has been throughout history and its cultural importance across civilizations. As part of Universal Images Group (UIG) collection, this print is not associated with any specific company or intended for commercial use. Its horizontal orientation allows for easy display while showcasing every intricate detail on offer here – making it perfect for enthusiasts of ancient art or those fascinated by historical depictions of trade and winemaking traditions.
